First of all, I had no idea zombies could be so poetic. Who knew that under all the moaning and shambling there could be some pretty deep thoughts?

R is a pretty nice guy, once you get to know him and if he doesn't eat you first. Even though he has the urge to munch on brains every once in a while, he cares about his friends and often regrets his desire to ~~hurt~~ eat others.

He lives a pretty bleak existence, with only his record player and the short hours when the airport escalator actually works a ...more

I love zombie books and movie. I was sure that I knew everything there is to know about Zombies, mainly how to kill them!

This was an interesting read... This is a book about zombies and there is a bit of romance in it. It is told from R's (who just happens to be a zombie) point of view. You get to see inside the mind of a zombie. Bits of it are quite humorous.

Some of the underlying bits to the story I felt were weak, such as the reason for the plague. However, I do not want to go into that here. Would be a minor spoiler, but a spoiler nonetheless.

I'm not entirely sure if hardcore zombie fans will fully enjoy this ...more
